Top 5 Fictional places I'd like to visit

-
What fictional world would you like to visit? Why would you visit?

Here is my top 5:

Hogwarts (for the food, duh)

 Can you imagine having food magically appear every. time. you ate? YES, please! Also, the Room of Requirement!





 
Room with a View

 I want to see the beauty of Florence described in the book. The flowers, the meadows, the hotel. And maybe the food.












Warcross by Marie Lu

 I'm not gonna lie, I found this story fascinating. The game and the glasses and the future (though I don't like the thought of everyone being so connected to the media).










Austenland

 How fun to live (almost) like during Jane Austen era? The clothes, the walks in the park, the romance.





A Song for the Stars

 I would love to time travel back to the 1700's to visit the lush beauty of the Hawaiian Islands before everyone else discovered the area.

Summer TIme Livin'

I love summer! I love having no schedule; the kids are home; we stay up late and sleep in; we take more walks; I read more; the pool is open.
But I am getting no editing done on my WIP! None. My biggest excuse is that my laptop WILL NOT turn on. No matter how much I pat it or kiss it or whisper sweet nothings in it's drive, I get nada. I know I can get my jump drive and write on a different computer. But I have good excuses for not doing that: no schedule; the kids are home; we stay up late and sleep in; we take more walks; I read more; the pool is open.
On the bright side~I just finished a book that inspired me to write more in depth for my WIP so I've been hand writing ideas/sentences/plots. Wait. That means more editing. *sigh* I guess I'll go for a walk after I eat a slice of watermelon. Then maybe we'll go to the pool.

One-Sentance Summary

Do you have a one-sentence summary of your story? 

Here is what Randy Ingermanson says about them:

DO IT!

From Randy Ingermanson:

Here is my one-sentence summary of THE HUNGER GAMES:

"A 16-year-old girl volunteers to take her sister’s
place in an arena where twenty-four teens will battle
each other to the death."

That's 25 words, which I consider the upper limit for a
one-sentence summary. I prefer to see a one-sentence
summary in the range of 10 to 15 words.

The goal is to tell the main idea of the novel in as
few words as possible. Shorter is always better, if it
captures the story.

The shortest one-sentence summary I've ever seen is the
summary for my friend Tosca Lee's forthcoming novel
ISCARIOT. Here it is: "Judas".

That's one word and it tells you everything you need to
know about Tosca's book.


The purpose of a one-sentence summary is to tell people
whether they're interested or not. That's all.

Notice that I didn't say that the …
